This is precisely the type of attitude that made it OK for microsoft to pay the BIOS manufacturers to lock out any OS on desktop and laptop PC's except their own when the UEFI standard first came out, until we exposed/shamed them publicly for doing it...in fact when you purchase your phone you are buying your hardware the manufacturer has no rights to dictate to you what you must run on it. Now if AT&T wants to do some kind of OS check something similar to 802.1x on their wireless network before you can connect to it to ensure you are running one of their approved OS's then that is fine they can deny you service all they want. But they should not be able to dictate to you what software you can run on your own hardware. Even Apple has lost it's lawsuits against iPhone jailbreakers and they explicitly say in their TOS when you buy an iPhone that you can only run official iOS on it. And yet they still lost.

In short, you are wrong.

I was unable to sign the petition from my note 3. I will try again later from my laptop.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mircury:
Yikes, I agree with some of what you said but my jaw dropped on the approved os check for service. That is what Google and the FCC has been trying to protect against for years by pushing open access. I value that more than ATT locking the devices they sell you. I just don't buy them. I bring my own. We should be able to bring our own devices and get service and get net neutrality. No discrimination. If it hurts the network from a network protocol implementation stand point then yes they should protect the network but not from a bandwidth/device/OS perspective.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gentleman559:
And then there was T-Mobile, who isn't hellbent on locking everything down and will allow you to do as you please with your device. Just a thought
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
If I'm wrong, why haven't there been any lawsuits yet? Why don't you start one? And where does it say that a carrier can't lock a bootloader? I don't care if I'm wrong or right....I'm realistic.

And by being realistic, these petitions aren't going to do anything. Sad, but true. There are only hundreds to low thousands of people signing these things compared to tens of millions of phones sold. These petitions will be seen here. It won't even show up as a blip on AT&T's radar. Do you think they really care? Lol.

Look, I love Android, the Note 3, rooting, XDA, etc just as much as you and the next guy/gal. But there are way too many whiners and apologists around here.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Naddict:
Thread cleaned a little, lets remember to be respectful.

And also, maybe a glimmer of hope here ?

I can sell you a grape and you are entitled to attempt to turn it into an orange.

Does not mean I did not have the right to sell you the grape even though you desired and mistakenly thought you can turn it into an orange.

The company has the right to sell the device how they desire to. You have the right not to buy it.

I DONT LIKE the locked boot loader and if I could convince my wife to switch I would but this go around I am choosing to buy this.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jpasint:
But that's just sim unlock, no?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] redstar299:
Ultimately Samsung is to blame since they cave in to ATT. They should just too bad.. you wanna carry the device on your network it comes unlocked. Samsung is the new apple
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
Yup. That article has to do with network unlock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] redstar299:
I troll all their social networking posts.. I suggest we all do the same since these petitions are useless. "The next big locked down device is here - Samsung is the new Apple"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Pandawg:
It's not Samsung though is it? Isn't it AT&T locking the bootloader?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Driggity420:
Samsung has a choice to agree or not.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] NMonster69:
Many of us just bought the t-mobile version. I had the mf3 s4 from at&t as well. Didn't do that again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] xxhorseriderxxx:
Or you could just buy an AT&T variant and sell/trade for a T-mobile version. 2 years ago I 'upgraded' to a 4s the day it came out and sold it for a 30$ profit, turned around and bought an international S2 with the money. It was the best decision I ever made since the international version got all the updates faster and had far better ROM support.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wangshin248:
are there any news about unlock bootloader ? :confused::confused::confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] appdroid:
may be we should have a thread asking how many devs have the device and if they are working on getting recovery or waiting til recovery is out to make rom.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drwario:
No development yet? Try looking around in forum a lil. Me and a few others have managed to mod/theme the **** out of our phones none the less. It's been kinda fun actually
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Delakit:
Wouldn't that be modding and apply themes then, not developing? Lol. Just a thought. Keep in mind, guys and gals... The carrier and manufacturer can do whatever they want with their product. Hell, they can terminate you right now for whatever reason they feel fit. They can also lock-down their devices so modifications are limited. We can't change the speed limits and we can't change the contracts we don't read. Sure, it sucks... but why get worked up over it? Love your phone for what it is. You wouldn't try changing the love of your life just so you can start modding everything, would you? Don't answer that one. =D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CZ Eddie:
Ditto.

I'm going with T-Mobile after my contract is up.

Try comparing ATT dev subforums to the T-Mobile dev forums and be prepared to get blown away.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Agent:
When the bootloader gets cracked I'm quite sure most of the tmo ROMs will get ported.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drwario:
And all I'm saying is things take time. By development I mean progress. We have a solid way to root. Themed apps. Hard brick recovery method. Things are crazing along just fine. My last 2 phones from att were same way. Slow at first then right about the six month marker or so it popped off. I'm guessing this phone will b same way
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] manny18pr:
Good words
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Not if the ATT Note 3, follows the ATT S4. Six months later and it's gotten worse on the S4. At least at launch and first few months the S4 was rootable with custom Recoveries installed easily. Now with MF3 and MJ9 firmwares, the S4 is super locked down, no Recovery whatsoever, it's locked down like a nuclear sub.

I had the ATT Note 2, and CleanROM was available almost from day one, and when the Note 2 was two months old, like the Note 3 is now, the N2 had tons of ROM's, custom kernels, themes, etc... pages and pages in the development thread back then.

Look at the ATT Note 3 development thread now :crying: It is EMPTY, NOTHING. I don't see this changing any time soon, but hopefully I am wrong, and some smart XDA'ers can find an exploit and crack the bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] UniX1rm:
Look out for safe strap .. It came out for Verizon and it should be available for att within the next few days so hopefully that'll get things rolling.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dincdoes.me:
I'm going back to the LG G2 or selling this and nexus 5 I'm not as impressed with this phone as I thought I would be. And to top it off it has a chasity belt on..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pham818:
Samsung isnt the new apple lol. Apple tells the carrier what to do lol, while samsung listens to the carrier lol....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I had the G2 before this phone and I haven't thought about it since. That phone was solid but something was missing from it that I can't really pinpoint. I think I missed am amoled screen too.

And the camera was mostly awful, I can't understand why it gets praised so much. Bright day shots were very good. Go to night or any low lit situation and it struggled mightily. More than the average phone camera. Moving objects were very hard to capture with it as well. And video recording was a joke with the constant focusing.

To each their own but I love this phone with custom roms or not.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dincdoes.me:
Agreed nicely said I forgot about how bad that camera was but maybe 4.4 update fixed it I'll have to research maybe I'll get the n5 and keep my boat 3 :p
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] alewis2k12:
Hate I had to trade this phone...hopefully things get sorted out and we can enjoy a Custom rom because I hate Stock its just soooooooooooo ugly lol....but the phone is a beast waiting to be unleased Seriously...Ive jumped to the Nexus 5 and its Rom & Kernel Heaven....I love it....but when the Note 3 get right...Im sure ill be back then..I just cant wait I miss my note lol...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah I was actually thinking about picking up a Nexus 5 just as a backup phone to my Note 3 and to tinker with. But the Note 3 will be my daily driver, I love it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JGuinan007:
whats the hold up?

I know we have locked boot loader or something but what exactly is the hold up in unlocking it and making roms work on our phones?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bri315317:
That is why I kept the G2. Running kit kat is pure heaven. That phone is keeping my flashing addiction at bay :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Driggity420:
If you guys get bored and have some money to burn download Next Launcher. So many ways to customize and should keep you busy for a little while
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
You should, the nexus 5 is incredible. So fast and smooth.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Mordak:
I agree it's frustrating that i own this device and yet they have locked me out of modifying it as I want but I love the S-Pen functionality and although I do miss some of the CyanogenMod tweaks I've enjoyed on previous phones, they never had any S-Pen integration due to it's proprietary nature. I have rooted the phone but I'm still happy after over a month with the stock ROM with root. Surprisingly, I have been a Nova Launcher user, but I've stuck with TouchWiz so far. I do miss the 220-240 dpi setting which I can change but it messes up TouchWiz so I have left it alone. It seems to work fine with Nova Launcher but I haven't felt the urge to go back yet. Overall it's big, fast, and beautiful. Now if Otterbox would make the darned Defender Cases in something other than Black, I'd be a happy man. :D :good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] the2rrell:
Hopefully safe trap drops soon, this device has to get some love from the awesome devs here on XDA.

Fingers Corssed, i will picking the phone up today....i tried to hold off as long as i could, but i want it...lol

Well we did all get a free $50 from the play store recently from that promotion.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MrPlNK:
^^^ some people got 100 in total from a diff promotion I think
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bataga:
What more do you think a rom will do for this phone? It's already fast as hell and you can still theme it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MattMJB0188:
A lot more!!!! A custom rom give it better battery life, performance, and customizable options, oh yeah, louder headphone volume! That's enough for me.

Why doesn't everyone in this thread grab the T-Mobile Note 3 (N900T). Prove a point to AT&T!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MrPlNK:
I miss halo honestly :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JuliskaCat:
Better battery life - check...

Customizable options - check...

Louder Headphone Volume - check...

But if you are like me, it bugs me to know I could do something to my phone, but am being blocked from doing it.

Otherwise, I am very happy with what changes I can do to the Note 3 with simply having root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
Allow Bluetooth tethering for people with the Galaxy Gear.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MattMJB0188:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
Let see customization you have Wanam, various launchers and a themes thread full of stuff louder volume hmm Viper Hifi works perfectly for this is free in the play store better battery turn off stuff you don't use, turn off wifi when not in use adjust your screen brightness a little bit or just get an extended battery all of your issues answered lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bataga:
Battery life is good here. I have 0 performance issues and there's not much more to customize imo. I guess everyone has different tastes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kennonk:
Yeah I'm not sure why anyone would come to a developers forum like XDA for the Note3 when the stock kernel and rom on this phone are so perfect, right? In fact this phone is so perfect no one should even need to root it. I think you guys are kind of silly for wanting to do cool stuff with your phones when Samsung and AT&T have given you all everything you'll ever need, the perfect mobile experience. Man, the nerve of some people to be so rude and disrespectful to such super cool companies who've given us the phone that is everything to all people. Just because I am perfectly satisfied with my phone means it is good enough for everyone else too. I have zero "issues" too...sheesh. :eek:

You have the 3 now, Wase? I made the upgrade but I am saddened about the boot loader. Sammy used to be way better than this...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bataga:
....trying to respond in way so I don't get banned....

I'm glad you agree with me. Sorry your phone sucks, but maybe you should have purchased a phone that does everything for you. Don't cry :crying: because you don't know how to do anything yourself and totally rely on others to make you like your phone better.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wase4711:
no Ray, I haven't decided if I want the 3, the htc one max, or just keep the note 2 for awhile longer...It sucks that you guys can do squat with this phone yet; hopefully that will change soon..

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gordec:
I wonder how much money ATT and Samsung lost from people returning bricked phones. I am fortunate enough to not have bricked one but I came close a few times. I completely understand the move even though I really wish development can take off for the ATT GN3.

On a side note, is kind of relaxing not flashing a new ROM every other day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] the2rrell:
True. But I want to flash something ...lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bataga:
Amen! Between my GS4, Nexus 10 & captivate I'm flashing something like twice each week just for the hell of it. Nice not having to delete data and restore / download all my stuff all the time.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] D150shorty:
I have rather enjoyed not flashing new ROMs..There has been an increase in theming for the stock rom..which means I still get to tweak my ROM, have root access, and full functionality. As much as I like Cyanogenmod ROM, CM is almost always half assed thrown together or missing proprietary functions (like s-pen, MultiWindow, etc)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wase4711:
ATT/Samsung losing money????? That's a good one!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Wow I just checked the two development threads here for the ATT Note 3 yikes :( /cry

This phone has been out almost 4 months, and still ZERO development on it.

Tumble weeds blowing, and crickets chirping.

This is unbelievable.

I had the ATT Note 2, and 4 months after release, the development thread was huge, with pages and pages of custom ROM's and kernels, etc...

Screw ATT. Don't think I will ever buy another ATT Samsung phone again. Seems like HTC is the only development friendly manufacturer left, or get a Nexus phone, but they always have crap battery life. Or spend million bucks on an international unlocked Samsung phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jbryson16:

It will work on any firmware you have. Issues arise when you want to return to stock (or if you mess up and don't follow directions as they are listed) seeing as there is no recovery for our phones yet and there isn't an Odin restore to stock available yet for the newer firmwares either.

If you mess up installing a ROM, there is a way to go back to stock thread. I have already done this.

I installed Jedi from the T-Mobile forms and I did something stupid and got into a bootloop.

Followed all instructions to Flash back to Stock and upgrade/Root MJ5.

SWEEEEEET....And the only issue was getting Heimdall to fire up. Once I got that going, I fixed my phone.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
It might have something to due with the current ROM you are running. AOSP, depending on which one, may have issues (nightlies broke it, incompatible with changes, etc). I'd test on stock based ROM and another AOSP ROM to confirm between if its ROM related or if its a bad flash. May need to lose function of wallet if that ROM is the one you need to use or use older version if it worked in the past.
[General Questions and Answers] maliedoo:
So I had a subscription with an IPTV provider that I was able to watch their channels and I was able to download google apps (like netflix, etc) and use them. All of a sudden after I cancelled their subscription, the box no longer boots up so that I can use just the apps, or anything that is free.

So I am trying to identify this box, so that I can hopefully root it, and put some sort of media center on it (would like XBMC), even plain android would work. Any suggestions are welcome, as well as any solutions.

Here are the specifications that I got from the provider website:

ARM CORTEX A9, Frequency 1GHz

1GB RAM, Built-in 4GB Flash Drive

Powered by Android 4.0 ICS

RJ45 10/100 Ethernet Interface

Built-in WiFi

HD Resolution 1920x1080 (1080i)

HDMI Video Output

RCA Output

2x USB 2.0 Interfaces

SD Card Reader

Basic IR Remote Control

2D/3D GPU Hardware Acceleration

[General Questions and Answers] champv17:
Solution

This is a very easy fix. This box that you have is a Geniatech ATV310b - (M3). So basically it all you have to do is to install a new image for it.

1) Open up the box: At the bottom, their are four screws covered by some cushion. Remove the cushion, then unscrew the screws.

2) Remove the bottom cover and you will see the board of the device. Look around and you will see a tiny black button that you can click on. There is only one of these buttons. This is the reset / upgrade button.

3) Next you will have to place the right firmware on an SD Card. So you must download them and place them on the SD card. You can either install XBMC or Basic Android. I recommend XBMC as it makes the device a great streaming box. You can find the software and directions on the Geniatech website:

www geniatech com/news/linux-xbmc-system-for-geniatech-m3-models.asp

4. Download the two files. Place them on an SD card. Place the SD card into your receiver (while the receiver is turned off). Now hold the reset button and put in the power cord from the back. Hold the reset button until you see the android logo pop up. Now, on the screen go to Apply Update.img and first Flash he file that has "SPI" in it and after do the file "update.img".

Once that all finishes, you can restart the device and you will have XBMC.

The link above also has the software for the normal android.

5. BE CAREFUL. Follow the steps carefully and do not rush. My box got bricked because I was changing some firmware later on and I accidentally pulled it off the power to quickly.
